Student Announcements for Friday, March 13th

Grease.......
A new school year is beginning at Rydell High in 1958, and with it ends the summer romance between girl-next-door Sandy Dumbrowski (Ally Copenhaver) and bad boy-greaser Danny Zuko (Josh Rubenstein).  When Sandy unexpectedly enrolls as the new student at Rydell, it makes everyone question who they are and where they fit in. Featuring iconic songs like "Summer Nights," "Greased Lightning," and "We Go Together," Grease chronicles the challenges and choices teenagers faced during and since the era of rock 'n' roll.
When: March 12th, 13th, 14th
Time: 7:30 PM
Where: Carrboro High School Theater
Tickets: $5 for Students; $10 for Adults; Free for CHCCS Faculty/Staff

Composting at CHS:
We are beginning the process of separating out our compostable and recyclable waste at lunch.  The composting program has been rolled out at all CHCCS elementary and middle schools this year and CHS is the first High School to participate.  By diverting our waste from the landfill, we are significantly reducing the environmental impact that our schools have on our local environment.  Food waste becomes methane when left to rot in a landfill.  By diverting it to a compost facility, we are not only reducing our emissions, we are helping to create healthy soil for our community.   

Please note the three bins that are in the commons near the outside doors.  There are signs alerting you to what goes in each bin.  Please be mindful of where you are throwing out your waste:
Recycling: plastic bottles, cans, #2,4,5 recyclables, milk cartons, juice boxes.
Landfill: plastic bags, items with recycling symbol with numbers 1, 6 or 7, plastic wrap, straws, plastic to-go containers containers, plastic forks, spoons, knives, ketchup/mustard/mayo/dressing packets.
Compost:  All food waste, cafeteria trays, paper cafeteria boats (what nachos are served in).  It is important that NO PLASTIC go in this bin.
Thank you for being aware and doing your part.
